Most Favorable Review

Pretty, fast, probably the best RAM for the money

OLOy WarHawk RGB  DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin Intel/AMD Ready Desktop Memory Model MD4U083618BCDA
OLOy WarHawk RGB DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin Intel/AMD Ready Desktop Memory Model MD4U083618BCDA

Pros: -Fast, good overclocking potential, -Looks good, -Good Hynix chip, -Inexpensive, -Awesome RGB colors, possible to change manually

Cons: -6 cm tall, may not fit under certain heatsinks in mini itx motherboards

Overall Review: It is overclocking better than the 3200MHz smaller brother. I had 5 pair of sticks of each version and tested them. It can do CL16 timing at 3600MHz, while the 3200mhz version could overclock until just 3400MHz CL16. So I think this 3600 variant has better Hynix chip, maybe Hynix CJR. I think after Samsung B die, this is the best RAM, but definitely the best memory that money can buy. I tested them with Asrock X470 and Ryzen 5 3600.

Beautiful and fast, but

G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200) Desktop Memory Model F5-6400J3239G16GX2-TR5S
G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200) Desktop Memory Model F5-6400J3239G16GX2-TR5S

Pros: Probably the most beautiful memory, uses good Hynix A-die chips and overclocking to high speeds or at 6400MHz just able for much tighter timings.

Cons: The heat-spreader part is very weak. It gets to 50C during stress very quickly and becoming unstable because of heat. It is general DDR5 modules have week cooling, expect a very few, but this one is hot.

Overall Review: So i am thinking how to mod it is cooling, to be able to keep these very nice modules in my computer.

Fantastic CPU

Intel Core i7-13700KF - Core i7 13th Gen Raptor Lake 16-Core (8P+8E) P-core Base Frequency: 3.4 GHz E-core Base Frequency: 2.5 GHz LGA 1700 125W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - BX8071513700KF

Pros: This i7-13700KF destroys the earlier top dog 12900KS out of the box and with optimization, undervolting even better

Cons: Newegg sold it more expensive as msrp

Overall Review: Works great with my 12th gen Asus motherboard, better temperatures and higher clocks.

Nicest and fastest DDR4 for AMD Ryzen 3 3300X

G.SKILL Trident Z Royal Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 4000 (PC4 32000) Desktop Memory Model F4-4000C15D-16GTRS
G.SKILL Trident Z Royal Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 4000 (PC4 32000) Desktop Memory Model F4-4000C15D-16GTRS

Pros: Beautiful, best Samsung B-die and best DDR4 desktop memory. I have tried several Samsung B die modules, G.Skill 3200CL14, G.skill 3600CL15, Patriot 4400CL19, Team T-Force 4133MHz. From the Patriot i even had 5 pair and only one could make 3800MHz Cl14 at 1.5V. The rest mentioned modules none. This beautiful new G.skill does 3800MHz CL14 and with better tRFC than the choosen Patriot.

Cons: Expensive

Overall Review: With Ryzen 3 3300X@4.6GHz I run these modules at 3800MHz with Cl14-14-14-28 at 1.5V and latency down at 55ns! Best combination for gaming with Geforce RTX3080. Now just waiting for Ryzen 5 5600X, which will be even faster, I will update this review again.

Not so good overclockability

Patriot Viper Steel 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 4400 (PC4 35200) Desktop Memory Model PVS416G440C9K
Patriot Viper Steel 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 4400 (PC4 35200) Desktop Memory Model PVS416G440C9K

Pros: Not overpriced Samsung B die modules.

Cons: Weeker Overclocking as expected.

Overall Review: I purchased 5 of these kits to select the best one for Ryzen 5 3600X. I thought these are very good quality Samsung B -die modules, but they cannot even do Ryzen Dram Calculator’s fast preset at 3733MHz, only with extra high 1.5V voltage.

Very good overall, works with Windows 7

ASRock Fatal1ty X470 Gaming-ITX/ac AM4 AMD Ryzen 3000 Series CPU Ready Mini ITX AMD Motherboard
ASRock Fatal1ty X470 Gaming-ITX/ac AM4 AMD Ryzen 3000 Series CPU Ready Mini ITX AMD Motherboard

Pros: -It has Windows 7 drivers, also tool to create compatible Windows 7 installation pendrive. Very good job from Asrock. Actually this was one of the reason to buy rather this motherboard than the newer x570. -Ryzen 3000 compatible, I am using with AMD Ryzen 5 3600. It started with straight out of the box, but the Oloy Warhawk 3600MHz memory modules were willing to run only at 2133MHz. After bios update I’ve got the desired 3600MHz speed. -I have great single and multicore speed, Nvidia Geforce 1660ti also working very well with. -The motherboard’s chipset consumes only 5W, while the newer X570 consumes 15W power.

Cons: -It would have been awesome if it has a second Nvme SSD slot and rather less SATA ports. -Slow start, until Windows booting appears.

Overall Review: Great to find such a mini motherboard, that can offer so high performance with Windows 7. Hope it will take even Ryzen 4000 series too!
